  • Student Financial Supplement Scheme (SFSS)
  • Student Start-up Loan (SSL)
  • ABSTUDY Student Start-up Loan (ABSTUDY SSL)

It will also help you determine the amount of your overseas levy for the following loan accounts:

The hierarchy, in which the compulsory repayment is now applied, is as follows;

This is an estimate only and is based on the information you provide. The exact amount of your compulsory repayment or overseas levy can only be calculated after you lodge your income tax return.
